We are now in the second week of the new year, and if you are like most people, the resolution(s) to lose weight, diet, exercise, make more money, save money, etc., are fading.
I encourage you to just be sensible and moderate this year, and perhaps not go on a crash New Year's Diet or new program. Think about doing one thing differently, easily, simply -- just one little thing that is easily accomplished that you can feel successful doing repeatedly. I have a list of 30 "little things" to try, below. You might find one that is right for you.
First and foremost take good care of yourself this year because you will need all the health, energy and stamina, all the clarity of mind, simplicity and power of Spirit possible. For me, taking good care of myself starts from the inside out -- from the soulful core of my being. It is mightily important to keep and practice my faith 100 percent, and let God guide me in everything I do.
If you trust completely in God and do your best to follow His directions and be active, you will be healthy and fine. Having a life in trust to God and enjoying the graces of energy, clarity, simplicity and power is what I call a Satisfied Life. That's why I write this weekly blog feature by that name.
My New Year's gift to you is the following list of 30 ideas and suggestions for very simple changes that can give you a Satisfied Life. I encourage you to take a few minutes each day to try one of my suggestions. You can lose weight, gain confidence, de-stress and easily enjoy a happier, healthier life. It's simple and based on the truth that little changes add up.
Now, today and every day, first thank God most gratefully for all that you have and are.
1. Ask God for help; fully accepting and appreciating the grace you are given.
2. Practice silence before eating.
3. Move your body for at least 10 minutes every day.
4. Enjoy one healthy snack per day.
5. Call your physician or health care provider to schedule an annual checkup.
6. Make a journal of foods eaten, and activities you've done. Look for patterns.
7. Read a spiritual or religious passage daily.
8. Confide your problems and worries to a clergy member, counselor or trusted friend.
9. Thank God for everything with each thing you do, and for everything you eat.
10. Enroll in a yoga or dance class.
11. Eat something every two hours.
12. Take time to identify your true needs.
13. Help a person in need.
14. If you are hungry after 8 p.m., have some unsweetened applesauce.
15. Get financial counseling and make a budget.
16. Instead of carbohydrates, have some fresh fruit.
17. Try Stevia extract instead of sugar.
18. Take 10 minutes for meditation.
19. Drink a cup of hot herbal tea after dinner, to help you not eat before bed.
20. If you have cereal for breakfast, have only one cup.
21. Purchase or borrow a really fun dance or yoga video, and do it.
22. Go on a "date" with your spouse, partner or new online friend.
23. Snack on hummus with carrots, cherry tomatoes, peppers or green beans.
24. Contact a long lost friend.
25. Go to a movie and get your mind off problems for a few hours.
26. When dining out at a restaurant, immediately cut the portion in half and ask the server to put it in a take-out container for your lunch tomorrow.
27. Cut portion sizes in half at home.
28. Eat very slowly, chewing each bite 15 times.
29. Make a list of your accomplishments and post them on the refrigerator.
30. Keep God at the center of your life through constant prayer and daily worship.
I wish you a Spirit-filled new year. We would love to read your ideas and comments on what you are doing, and what works and doesn't work -- post a comment below.

Sleep Well
Rest assured, we've got you covered
BY Tracy Duhs
When was the last time you woke up feeling rested, rejuvenated and ready to conquer your day without the help of a caffeine stimulant? Current research is suggesting that lack of sleep may be linked with accelerated aging, weight gain, memory loss, breast cancer, prostate cancer, inflammation and impaired immune system. Do I have your attention?
Sleep disorders are an epidemic that is rising exponentially. Are you one of the unfortunate individuals plagued with sleep deficit? Do you ever find yourself unable to fall asleep? Waking up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep? Tossing and turning?
Fortunately, there are some simple changes you can start today that will provide a lifetime of dividends in the sleep department.
Trouble Falling Asleep? Could be related to congestion in the gallbladder or liver. ACTION: Limit fatty food intake and alcohol consumption before bedtime. BOTANICAL RECOMMENDATION: D-Limonene: a unique fat emulsifier that can help clear cholesterol in the gallbladder and aid liver detoxification enzymes. The calming properties of this citrus extract help mitigate anxiety and may assist in aiding sleep. Supplementing fat-laden meals with d-limonene can promote the breakdown and optimal utilization of fats.
Interrupted Sleep? According to Dr. Robert J. Marshall, PhD, owner of Premier Research Labs, individuals need a minimum of five consecutive hours spent horizontally without interruption. The adrenals are producing adrenaline in the middle of the night, and if you have to get up to urinate (or just want to grab a midnight snack!), you may actually be running on half adrenaline the next day. ACTION: Drink less water after 6 pm to prevent
having to get up in the middle of the night to urinate. BOTANICAL RECOMMENDATION: Ultra Pollen by Premier Research Labs. This is a botanical blend of multiple pollen extracts from flower blossoms. This product can help support urinary tract performance, assist in a healthy menopause transition, as well as promote normal prostate function. Available at graceandparker.com for $24.
Trouble Calming Down? Many of my clients suffer from an overactive mind around bedtime. Here are some helpful ways to calm your nervous system before going to sleep:
1. Have a nightly routine.
2. Read a book for pleasure.
3. Turn off all electronic devices two hours before bedtime.
4. Rub chamomile essential oil on the soles of your feet and along your spine.
5. Instead of sleeping pills or alcohol, try supplements or herbs with a
calming effect a half hour to an hour before bedtime. Magnesium
(300-500 mg) can be helpful. Or try the following amino acids:
l-theanine (100-500 mg), 5-HTP (50-100 mg), taurine or GABA.
6. Herbal teas, like lemon balm, chamomile, passion flower and valerian root, can also help.
7. Eliminate caffeine completely from your daily regimen. Long-term, repeated doses of caffeine simply weaken your adrenals, making them less able to respond adequately.
8. Wear an eye mask to block out light.
9. Wear ear plugs to reduce ambient noise.
As you wind down the day, remember to treat yourself kindly. And sweet dreams … Ρ

I always have a bottle of rice vinegar in the refrigerator, ready to use for a variety of things, and not just in my favorite oriental recipes. Let me give you some suggestions:
* You can use it as an ingredient in marinate that you make for your barbecued chicken, and barbecued vegetables. Here is an article I wrote about my favorite barbecued chicken recipes.
* Sprinkle some on your salad alone, it has a nice light flavor, or use it in place of "regular" vinegar in your favorite salad dressing recipe.
* Are you trying to lose a little weight? Rather than put a lot of butter or margarine on your vegetables, potatoes or pasta, try adding some seasoned rice vinegar to give it a pleasant flavor.
For health reasons, it may be good to seek out brands that contain 50% less sodium. Good rice vinegar is made from whole grain rice using a natural process that began over 200 years ago in Japan.

Should you buy your first home in the city or suburbs? There are some important factors that first-home buyers should think about.
One of the first questions any aspiring home buyer asks themselves is where to buy: city or suburbs? Of course the answer will depend a lot on how much money you have to spend, but it's not solely about that. You need to figure out exactly what you're looking for in an area and home, not just now but in the future, what your deal-breakers are and where you can compromise.
So, to help make this decision easier and get you one step closer to realising your bricks-and-mortar dream, we've put together a list of the good, the bad and the reality of both.
The size of the matter
If you've been enjoying the bright lights of the city as a renter, then it makes sense that you might want to start your property search here. And this could be achievable - if you're prepared to compromise on space. It goes without saying that you pay a premium for bigger homes in a city, so if size doesn't matter to you, look cityside. However, if you dream of your first house having a backyard where you can spend time with friends and family around a barbecue, extra rooms to accommodate a growing family, and more storage, then it might be time to cast your eyes towards the suburbs. You'll be amazed at how much more you can get for your money, particularly in new residential villages.
If you like being close to the action
Can't get enough of the bright lights and buzz of a city? Well you might struggle to adapt to a more relaxed suburban lifestyle. However, if your search starts hitting a brick wall, it might be worth looking further afield. You'd be surprised what cafes and restaurants might be available to you outside your comfort zone, especially as the need for suburban amenities is growing with the trend for people to move out of the cities in search of a better lifestyle.
City ties
If you've been living in a city for some time and have built up a big support network, then you may feel loathe to move away to a suburb. Again it goes back to how important it is to you. Is remaining near friends in a city a deal-breaker for you or are you prepared to compromise in order to get a larger home? Be aware that other friends will face this dilemma, and they're unlikely to all remain in one place permanently. Also moving to a larger house outside will mean more rooms for friends and family to come and stay.
History lovers and culture vultures
If you love an area steeped in history, with atmospheric winding streets, old buildings and plentiful art galleries and museums, then of course you may find yourself feeling a bit lost if you move away from the city. However, if you're struggling to find a place in the centre that's big enough for you, don't overlook newer suburbs, for what they lack in history they might more than make up for in transport links. Check to see if you could find the best of both worlds: the bigger suburban place and quick links back to your favourite city haunts.
Getting to work and home again
If being close to your work is vital to you, than suburban living is unlikely to be your best bet. This is particularly true of those who don't want to give up walking or cycling to the office. However, many new suburbs offer surprisingly good transport links, so it's worth examining what's on offer if you're not getting anywhere with your city property search.
Competition for homes in the city
People who decide that city living is for them must bear in mind that they'll need to be tough when it comes to buying a place. There's a lot of competition, so they'll need to sharpen their elbows, be very organised and get prepared to compete with many others for their dream home.
Being open to exploring new areas will give you a far greater choice and could mean your house-owning dream comes true far quicker than you thought possible
Family matters and outdoor living
For people considering expanding their family, suburban living beats the city hands down. Think homes with more rooms, more storage, safer neighbourhoods and bigger backyards. Check out what's on offer in newer suburbs, as they'll often offer amenities such as brand new schools and childcare options. They also give residents ample opportunity to build close bonds with other families who are at a similar life stage. Suburbs will also invariably offer bigger backyards to kick a ball with the kids, make space for a pet, grow a veggie patch, or simply breathe in the fresh air.
The joys of new build villages
Property developers who've masterminded new villages put a huge amount of thought into making their communities wonderful places to live. Think community centres, shopping malls, recreational parks, schools, childcare centres and family events such as an outdoor movie nights, kids' barbecues and group fitness sessions.
The pros of choosing a brand new home in a new village are numerous. Aside from the actual house - which offers lower energy bills, brand new appliances, fixtures and fittings so less maintenance costs and the chance to create a totally personalised home - the village will have a large range of plot sizes and designs. This means that though your first home may be on a smaller plot, as your family and finances grow, you are able to upgrade to a larger plot without having to move out of an area that you've made your own. On top of this, people who live in newer residential suburbs have a "higher level of wellbeing than the national average" according to research by Stockland. And you can see why.
So, suburbs or city? Our best advice is to keep an open mind. Being open to exploring new areas will give you a far greater choice and could mean your house-owning dream comes true far quicker than you thought possible.

MHC receives the Sycamore Foundation's "Best of the Best" Indiana Achievement Award (10/23/2009)
This year, the Indianapolis-based Sycamore Foundation will present the special Ten Year Anniversary "Best of the Best" Indiana Achievement Award to two exemplary nonprofits, and MHC is one of them! In 2005, MHC received the prize in the Small Organization/Innovative category, and so MHC had the opportunity to apply and be considered for the ten year anniversary "Best of the Best" Award.
MHC is thrilled and deeply honored to receive this prestigious award which also includes an unrestricted $20,000 cash prize.
This award recognizes MHC for innovation and adaptability. The judges appreciated MHC's grassroots style and programmatic model. Our organization strives to do things efficiently and yet remain inclusive and respectful of our patrons. Over the years, MHC has proven the ability to meet dramatic increases in community need while staying true to our mission.
Mother Hubbard's Cupboard and Second Helpings of Indianapolis, the other Indiana Achievement Award winner, will be recognized at an awards luncheon at the Downtown Indianapolis Hyatt on December 8th. Bloomington can be proud of its record of non-profit innovation. In addition to MHC, in the past ten years Middle Way House Inc., Sycamore Land Trust, and Wonderlab all have won Indiana Achievement Awards.
MHC is the largest food pantry in Monroe County; it provides fresh healthful groceries to more than 1,900 patrons each week with. MHC serves people in need with food rescued by the Hoosier Hills Food Bank and distributed through its food pantry facility at 1010 S. Walnut Street in Bloomington.
MHC focuses on wholesome, healthful foods; it is unique in offering many whole foods and organic options, when available. MHC also operates Nutrition Education and Community Gardening programs that pass on skills to clients so they can choose healthier foods. Finally, and perhaps most crucial to its success, the Cupboard emphasizes respect for patrons, allowing them to shop for food, rather than receive pre-packaged parcels. Patrons are integral to the organization, with many of Mother Hubbard's beneficiaries serving as volunteers.
Former MHC Director, Libby Yarnelle, receives Bill Krejci Cooperative Service Award (10/2009)
This year, Bloomingfoods awarded the Bill Krejci Cooperative Service Award to Libby Yarnelle. Jean Kautt, Bloomingfoods staff person spoke of Libby's committment to the community and her personal flare in everything she did. "She was a daughter and sister to be proud of, a teacher to respect and admire, and a friend to love for so many. Libby had this ageless quality that enabled herto talk to anyone – a homeless person, a child, or a bank president, with equal grace and wisdom. She was thoughtful, deliberate, and incredibly tenacious as she lived and breathed our seventh cooperative principle, Concern for Community. She had a lot to do with the close relationship Bloomingfoods enjoys with Mother Hubbard's Cupboard to this day." For the complete story read this Bloomingfoods newsletter. Libby's family receive the award on her behalf and many of us from MHC were also there to celebrate Libby's legacy.
Former MHC Director, Libby Yarnelle, Passes Away (6/22/2009)
After a long battle with neuroendocrine cancer, Libby Yarnelle passed away peacefully at her home on Wednesday, June 17th with her family at her side. Libby shared her passion for food security and thoughtful service as the Director of Mother Hubbard's Cupboard for four years. We are grateful for all Libby shared with us at MHC. Our gardens grow large, our grocery bags overflow with healthy foods and our hearts are warmed because of Libby's dedication and endless compassion. Her creativity continues to impact the lives of many in this community through MHC's programs she worked to develop over the years. We cherish the time we had with Libby. A memorial service will be held at Garfield Park in Indianapolis on Saturday, June 27th at 11am. All are welcome. Condolences may be sent to Jim, Mary and Alexa Yarnelle at 1519 S New Jersey, Indianapolis, IN 46225.

Kolkata: A four-member special Election Commission team arrived here today to make an independent assessment of law and order in poll-bound West Bengal, a senior official said.
Four members of a six-member special EC team, led by Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Bihar Sudhir Kumar Rakesh, arrived here to oversee law and order in the state ahead of the Assembly elections, West Bengal Jt CEO Dibyendu Sarkar said, adding the remaining two members would arrive later tonight.
The decision to send a fact-finding team was taken by the EC after representatives of various political parties had highlighted the worsening law and order situation in the state in the wake of unabated political violence.
Apart from the Bihar CEO, three other senior police officers who arrived included Zaki Ahmed (DIG National Crime Record Bureau), P R K Naidu (DIG National Crime Record Bureau) and D K Pandey (ADG Jharkhand).
The remaining two senior police officers V S Reddy (DIG Andhra Pradesh) and P S Rampassi (DIG Orissa), would arrive later tonight.
"The team is the eyes and ears of the ECI. It will only see and hear from different sources and will not speak out. It will only submit its report to the ECI," Sarkar said.
The team may even talk to some political parties. However, it will finalise its next move only after making a first-hand assessment of the situation during a video Conference with DMs and SPs tomorrow, he said.
Sarkar also said that the six-member team of observers may fan out to districts in three groups during its stay in the state for some time till the assessment was over.
The EC had earlier said in Delhi that the team would visit different districts of the state immediately and make an on-the-spot assessment and submit a report to it.
"Maintenance of law and order is crucial to the conduct of free and fair and peaceful election," the EC had said.

with a few subtle changes, on the contrary... it's a major
upgrade with two brand new chapters, many new KPI and updated
global benchmarks.
followed the success of the First Edition by keeping the
same trusted layout on each page so you can get the information
you want really quickly.
the traditional KPI like Stock Turn etc have been retained
and re-written with more clarity, but more importantly,

I Already
Have A Copy Of The KPI Book,
Do I Really Need To Buy The Second Edition?
The short answer
is "Yes". You can no longer pay attention to the
benchmarks and baselines because most of them have changed
due to the changes in the economic climate. All benchmarks
have been revisited and revised to reflect a truly global
perspective. In addition, there's also a complete suite
of brand new KPI and business concepts for maximising your
profitability. Due to these factors, we have to make the
following statement:
of Monday 9 June 2014, The KPI Book First Edition
is officially obsolete, outdated and unsupported.
The first edition
was first published on 16 April 2001 and has sold in excess
of 50,000 copies. However, the last book was sold in November
2013 and it's now out of print and no longer available.
Jeff Smith is always available to answer any questions you
have regarding key performance indicators, but I'm afraid
he can no longer assist you with the information contained
within the First Edition.
What's The Difference Between This Book
And The First Edition?
At first glance,
the book cover of the Second Edition looks exactly the same
as the First Edition apart from those two words "Second
Edition" on the front cover. It's also exactly the
same height and the same width, but the spine is quite a
bit thicker because it has 135 more pages, therefore
it's a little heavier too.
The page size,
the font and the font sizes and are all the same which confirms
that this new book is not marketing hype or a simple upgrade,
but rather that the additional 135 pages are crammed full
with even more valuable information about understanding
your business.
Perhaps more importantly,
the page layout remains the same with the page title, the
formula, the benchmarks following the same trusted page
layout which lead to the success of the first edition.
The big difference
is that you have the very latest up-to-date information.
Every single page has been completely re-written to give
you much more clarity and understanding in every single
area of your business, not to mention the very latest benchmarks
to reflect the changes in our industry since the credit
But none of these
things tell you just how much better this book really is,
so here's a simple comparison table with just a few of the
highlight differences in the content:

Taboo Relationships You'll Probably Engage In Eventually
You don't have a dirty mind, or a weak constitution, or loose morals: you simply find the forbidden so tempting, just like the rest of us. And if you're on the single scene long enough, you're bound to engage in at least a few of these forbidden types of love.
It could be as close as a stepsibling, or a cousin by marriage, or an awkwardly young step-uncle. But, sharing so many similar experiences as pseudo-family does, you can't help but feel a special bond with a certain attractive non-blood relative at some point.
CEO's aren't just antique men, nearly on their deathbed, smoking cigars with their golf buddies these days. Young entrepreneurs and fresh-out-of-college start-up founders are everywhere now. You may find your "authority figure" at your new job likes Smirnoff Ice, American Apparel deep v's and a good weekend in Vegas just like you do. Oh yeah, and he's cute.
Similar to family, co-workers endure much of the same stress, share many similar experiences and overall have a similar lifestyle. This inevitably forms a special bond that can feel like sexual or romantic attraction.
A neighbor
Simply being exposed to someone repeatedly can play a trick on your mind, making you feel attracted to that person. And the fact that your neighbor is just down the hall or street, so accessible when you're feeling, um, playful, can make this type of taboo love become hot and heavy fast. But your feelings can be confusing: is it proximity or compatibility that's keeping things together?
A taken man
You'll tell yourself you're not doing anything wrong because you're not the one sending him flirty texts, and you haven't professed any attraction to him, and you certainly haven't made any physical contact. But, if a taken man is making passes at you and you're not actively stifling them, you are engaging in some sort of emotional affair.
Much older/much younger man
All your friends see it: you're clearly just a plaything to the gray-haired, yacht-owning fox who has been taking you away for luxurious weekends. Or, the barely-out-of-college, hard-bodied cutie you're partying with is just a toy to you! But, it's so fun, you'll lie to yourself and say it's love for a little while.
Religiously committed
Either his family would disown him should he marry a woman outside their religion, or keeping up the religious tradition via marriage/the bloodstream is genuinely important to him—more important than being with "the one." Either way, you'll engage in a hot fling with a guy who things really can't go anywhere serious with due to his religious background.
It happens all the time at universities: college professors tend to be a little more liberal by nature than professionals in other lines of work. Add to that the allure of someone you share intellectual conversations with, and who looks to you as a mentor, and teachers can't help but be turned on by a student at some time. And what student doesn't want to be the one chosen by the teacher?
A lawyer is almost like a therapist—out of necessity, you tell him every last detail of your life. You'll instantly feel bonded to him for this reason, and, should he like the details of your life, he may develop feelings for you. Get a new lawyer, and get it on.
A friend's ex
If your friend dated a guy for a long time, you were inevitably around him often and the two of you got to know each other. Add to that that, you and your particular friend are friends because you have similar values, likes and dislikes. It's normal you'd be attracted to the same man.
An ex's friend
Just reverse the last scenario on this list, and you have the same dynamics. You can bet one of your ex's buddies was eyeing you the entire relationship, thinking of all the ways he'd treat you better. And, face it, men are a little more shameless when it comes to going after women. They'll go after it if they think they have the slightest chance—even if it could ruin a friendship.
The renowned jerk
Everyone knows he is a player/doesn't respect women/thinks he is God's gift to the earth etc. Nobody likes him. But you—well, you yearn for him. And there's something hot about dating the bad boy.
Strictly sexual
Your friends tell you it won't last, that you have nothing in common, that a relationship can't subsist on sex alone, but you can't help it: the sex is so good, it makes up for the fact you have nothing to talk about leading up to it, or after it. You'll ride this one out (literally) as long as you can.
Your friend's brother
Like the friend's ex, you're around the brother a lot. Odds are, you've been privy to some of his most important experiences/valuable moments/intimate secrets just by proximity, and he to you. And when you get to know someone that well, it's hard not to fall in love at least a little.

On Wednesday, October 16, Atlanta-based new-edge music group Bent Frequency and PUSH Physical Theatre of Rochester, New York, will come together, along with a handful of guest musicians, to perform "Comala," a "scenic cantata" by Mexican-born composer Ricardo Zohn-Muldoon, at the Rialto Center for the Arts. The concert is free and open to the public.
The Rialto performance will come just days before Bent Frequency performs "Comala" at two significant festivals in central Mexico: on October 19 at the Fiestas Octobre in Guadalajara and October 21 at the Festival Internacional Cervantino in Guanajuato.
Based on the novel Pedro Páram by esteemed Mexican author Juan Rulfo, the 2001 cantata's story is about Juan Preciado, a man who visits the hometown of his recently deceased mother in search of his father, only to find that it's a ghost town — in the literal sense, inhabited by specters.
Last year, Zohn-Muldoon was contacted by the Cervantino Festival to do a project. He suggested "Comala" and thought Bent Frequency would be the ensemble to perform it. Although it was conceived by the composer as a "scenic cantata," because the two singers don't move about the stage, the festival wanted something with more visual, theatrical elements. So Zohn-Muldoon engaged PUSH Physical Theatre to develop staged movement for the production.
"The Cervantino Festival is a big deal," says Stuart Gerber, percussionist and co-artistic director of Bent Frequency, who performed there in 2002 with pianist Michael Fowler as Ensemble Sirius. "It's a three-week interdisciplinary festival, like Mexico's version of the Edinburgh Festival. We decided to convene in Atlanta to rehearse and do a performance here in preparation for that. In the meantime, we were also able to secure a performance at Fiestas Octobre in Guadalajara. It all worked out quite nicely."
The two-stop Mexican tour is indicative of a shift in focus for the 10-year-old Bent Frequency. "We're trying to do more of these kinds of things," Gerber says. "It's great to do things in Atlanta; we're based here. But we want to do regional, national and international things."
One of those things is what is called the Bent Frequency Duo Project, which Gerber and saxophonist and co-Artistic Director Jan Berry Baker will take on the road and for which they commissioned nine composers to write new pieces for saxophone and percussion. "We have two tours in February and March, about a half-dozen shows each, so we're getting a lot of new repertoire that we're going to play a lot of times," Gerber says.
The duo project, representing Bent Frequency, will also be the ensemble-in-residence at the Tage aktueller Musik ("New Music Days") in Nuremberg, Germany, one of Atlanta's official sister cities. "It's easier and cheaper [for] two people to tour — much more nimble," says Gerber. "In the case of 'Comala,' it's 18 people."
Given the large number of people involved, Baker notes that while individual members of the group have extensive foreign experience, taking "Comala" to Mexico is "the first really big engagement that Bent Frequency has had outside of the greater Atlanta area. This is really big as far as how much they're investing in us. It means a lot to us to have somebody recognize us on this scale. We're going to build on that."
But they also are determined not to allow their level of activity in Atlanta to diminish. "There's a lot going on in the city now — artistically, musically — especially in terms of new music," notes Gerber. "We're glad to be a part of that. At the same time, we feel it's important to try to represent Atlanta and its cultural scene in other places — in the Southeast, nationwide and abroad. That's a different focus [for us] in the last year or so."
Baker says Atlanta is becoming a center for new music. "We do three or four big projects a year," she says. "Those have already brought to Atlanta composers and performers who have never been here before. They're always surprised by how many people [will attend] a new-music concert and all the incredible performers that are here. It's opening people's eyes to the vibrant scene that is here."

Are you feeling inspired to take up sport or get back into it? Whatever your age or ability, if you're keen to get exercising, personal trainer Lucy Wyndham-Read is on hand with advice on choosing the right sport for you.
If you're feeling motivated to get up and have a go, now is the perfect time to get involved with sport.
Even if you're not the sporty type, making simple changes to your lifestyle this spring, could make a big difference.
Getting fitter will not only help you feel better in yourself, but it could also significantly improve your health.
"Fitness isn't just about going to the gym," commented personal trainer Lucy Wyndham-Read. "In fact, it's about doing any form of activity that requires movement.
"Movement gets your body working harder and the major muscle which will benefit from this is your heart. That's why your heart and health will both love sport."
There are numerous benefits to be gained from exercise, including improvements to health, energy and wellbeing, and the chance to learn new skills and gain social benefits.From a health point of view, physical activity helps "increase your heart health, lower your blood pressure, improve your lung capacity, lower your cholesterol and help reduce the risk of various diseases," says Lucy. According to recent research published in the medical journal The Lancet, physical inactivity causes nine per cent of premature deaths – or more than 5.3 million deaths worldwide each year. If levels of inactivity are reduced by 10 per cent, 533,000 deaths could be avoided; if they're reduced by 25 per cent, then 1.3 million lives could be saved.Sport can be a very social experience, giving you the chance to meet new people and learn valuable new skills, plus it can boost your wellbeing and self-esteem, and make you feel good about yourself.
With so many different sports out there, it can be hard to know which to try. All sports have their own benefits, require particular skills and can be hugely enjoyable, but the key is to find the right one for you.
Here are some tips from Lucy on how to choose a sport to suit your needs and personality.
If you have a very competitive personality and like to be part of a team, try sports such as:
All these sports are ideal, as they require you to use every fitness component. You'll need good team playing skills and get to boost your endurance, speed, stamina, balance and muscular strength.
If you're a highly competitive person, but prefer to operate on your own, even though you still enjoy a good, high energy workout, then try:
All these sports also involve the major components of fitness and you'll get to work on your speed, stamina, motor skills and endurance.
If you prefer to work out at a slower pace and focus more on skill and coordination, then the following sports could be more suited to you:
All of these sports will help you develop balance, flexibility, core strength, coordination and new skills.
Or, if normal sports don't take your fancy, consider a more unconventional sport such as yoga, salsa or tai chi.
Sport is a great equaliser – anyone of any age, background and ability can get involved. Whether you're a beginner, returner or experienced sportsperson, getting into a regular routine, such as doing sports on certain days a week, can help you stay motivated and keep going.Whilst some sports, like swimming, can successfully be done on your own, many people find it more motivating and encouraging to join a team, club or class. For beginners, this is particularly useful, as you benefit from expert tuition and guidance, which provides a good basis for learning, plus you don't feel so isolated in what you're doing and gain the social aspects and support of exercising with others.In addition, it gives you the chance to try out a sport and ensure you really like it before committing to buy the necessary equipment or kit."For everyone, from the elderly, disabled, young, middle aged or simply complete beginners to sport and exercise, one thing that is guaranteed is that you'll reap the benefits from being active and become winners of your own health," concludes Lucy.

Another quite profound thinker with insights on ideas regarding consciousness.
Another quite profound thinker with insights on ideas regarding consciousness.
Back to practical experiential exercises: Little is so primary to human life as the intake of breath to provide oxygen. The earlier breath exercise was to allow focus upon the breath without altering its natural flow. Although that exercise is quite useful to monitor your conscious awareness, and to withdraw awareness from the outside world a bit, other practices involve specific patterns of inhalation and exhalation to aid in the creation of meditative states of awareness.
This simple circular breath is perhaps one of the easiest of these methods.
Sit down and allow thoughts of the day to fade. Observe the breath as it naturally flows for a few moments. Close your eyes.
When ready inhale slowly but comfortably. Make sure that first the abdomen expands, then the chest, then the tips of the shoulder. This full breath fills the entire lung space. Don't neglect to expand the abdomen first. Reverse this sequence for the exhalation and try to empty the lungs completely by pulling the abdomen in at the end of the exhale.
For this particular breath exercise, count the number of seconds of the inhalation, do not pause, immediately start the exhalation for exactly the same number of seconds as the inhalation. Again, do not pause at the end of exhalation, but start the next inhalation which should also last for the same number of seconds. The breath is similar to a large circle with the inhalation being half, and the exhalation being the other half, with no breath holds at any point. Keep the breath flowing in this cycle for ten to fifteen minutes to start.
How does this practice feel different from the earlier one? Do the results of practice differ?
Find a comfortable number of seconds for the inhalation/exhalation: don't struggle or strain, and don't slow the cycle to a point of feeling "air hunger." It's a relaxation exercise and a refocusing of awareness, not an endurance test!
A brilliant discussion by a brilliant thinker on the true purpose of science as a method of inquiry versus scientism as a belief structure that science can explain everything effectively. This simple distinction makes tremendous difference!
Interesting information from the journal Psychoneuroendocrinology regarding meditation and gene expression:
There are several generally recognized brainwave patterns within the brain which can be measured with EEG technologies. Each of these brainwaves correlates with different experiential realities. Most of us in the Western world experience only three levels of awareness: awake, asleep with dreaming, and asleep without dreaming. The normal sleep cycle includes Alpha, Theta, and Delta waves in special sequences throughout the night, in sequence with a dreaming pattern called REM [rapid eye movement]. We usually sleep through brainwave patterns other than active waking Beta brainwaves, and thus rarely experience some of the expanded awarenesses available to us as humans.
The names of the brainwaves relate to the electrical frequency generated by brain activity as measured by electrodes placed on the head. There is nothing better or worse about any particular pattern, but each has a distinct experiential quality which is useful for various life tasks.
The Beta brainwave state is involved with thinking, cognitive activity, work, driving and goal focused activity. It is necessary and useful to technological progress, and general daily functioning. If you think about your frantic daily schedule, work deadlines, or a shopping list, your brain is probably functioning in this range of electrical activity. Although an essential part of daily life, it's contents would also include stress inducing material!
Alpha brainwaves begin in the eyes-closed state, and become more coherent across the brain hemispheres in meditative practice. The Alpha state typically increases a sense of relaxation, and in the sleep-deprived western world, many will fall into sleep states rapidly. If you're "fading out" in a boring meeting, sitting back in a state of calm, or just starting to feel relaxed right before falling asleep, this is likely an Alpha state.
Theta brainwaves are slower than Alpha and in this brainwave pattern ecstatic states, dream like visions, out of body experiences, and a significant lessening of physical pain are common. Characteristic is a lack of awareness of the sensations of the physical body. Creative insights also occur in the mental space here, and amazing breakthrough discoveries begin here. Examples include Kekule's insight about the structure of benzene, Einstein's "thought experiment" about light, and Mendeleev's vision of the periodic table of elements. More on creativity at another time. . . .
Delta brainwaves are expressed deep sleep, usually far outside of awareness. When conscious at this brainwave state, the experience is often of a pure empty void, described in several meditative traditions as an experience of the full infinity of nothingness that is at the same time full of possibility. Carl Jung made reference to this as the "Pleroma" of Gnostic traditions. Buddhist meditators simply refer to it as the void.
Meditation practice leads the meditator to remain consciously aware at these various brainwave states in a process unlike any other. Ken Wilber notes that as meditative practice progresses over time, one first experiences quiet relaxation [Alpha], then a reverie of creative imagery [Theta] followed by absolute silence and/or one-ness [Delta]. If you want to understand meditative experience in the context of brain physiology, this is an excellent place to start. Functional brain imaging is the next step at this level of understanding.
I'll tell you about some of the amazing findings about a newly described brainwave pattern, called Gamma, in a later post. The findings about this make a substantial argument against biological reductionism in neuroscience, and thus, should not be underestimated.
Breath has been used as a metaphor for life and life energy since recorded history began. Terms such as "prana," "chi," "ki," "spiritus," "anima" all refer to a core of life energy relating to radiant health and balance. In most traditions, this concept is intimately tied to the physical act in inspiration and expiration. Note that even these physiological terms in English have deeper meanings. To inspire raises the concept of creative insight and to expire also means to pass from life. Many spiritual systems include detailed instructions on special breathing techniques as part of practice.
But rather than delving deeply into those, let's get started with a very simple practice that can have profound effects in your perception of such a simple thing as breathing, something you do about 10 times each minute of life without even really being aware of it.
First, even though our life is full of challenging and contradictory needs, you must find a brief 15 to 20 minute block each day to devote to meditative practice, if you wish to see personal change. The most beneficial results of meditation psychologically and physically occur after regular practice of months to years. A simple state of relaxation occurs much more rapidly, but deeper change takes regular practice!
Warning: life will immediately conspire to interrupt your practice! Your intent will have to be fierce and unyielding. Phones off, pets in another room, children at school. . .
This simple meditation exercises uses the natural inflow and outflow of the breath: nothing else is needed beyond your time and focus.
Take a seat in a comfortable position so that you won't need to shift your posture for a few minutes. The lotus position is fine, but certainly not necessary. You can accomplish the same by sitting in a chair with a reasonably vertical spine. Most important: be comfortable.
Close your eyes and just take a moment to allow the day's worries and issues to pass from immediate awareness.
Then gently focus all of your attention onto your breath. No need to alter its rate or its depth, just internally observe.
Next, internally state to yourself "the breath flows in" on each inhale, and "the breath flows out" on each exhale.
After a few cycles, other thoughts or perceptions will likely start to intrude on your practice. Make no judgment on this. Gently refocus attention on the breath exercise each time you reach awareness that your focus has strayed.
Try for 10 to 15 minutes of time on this per day.
If possible, keep a simple journal, and document for yourself the results of the practice. Compare the entries after several weeks and after several months. You may notice a difference in your attitude about the day when you compare days when you completed the practice versus days that you didn't.
The term 'meditation' is commonly used today amongst different peoples. The etymology of the word relates to the ideas of thinking or pondering. However, this is not an accurate description of the practice or purpose as the term is used today. Wikipedia defines the term as "a practice in which an individual trains the mind or induces a mode of consciousness." The dictionary within "Bing" defines the term to mean an "emptying or concentration of the mind. . . in order to aid mental or spiritual development, contemplation, or relaxation." Perhaps better, but this still fails to really describe the practice of the range of experience involved in the practice.
The only overarching description I can identify is that meditation involves a change in focus or awareness that typically stills the inner chatter of the mind. This may involve quiet concentrative techniques, observing the flow of mental contents, focusing on a particular action such as walking, or even using new technology to alter brainwaves through entrainment. Some form of changing the level of focus of consciousness has existed since the dawn of humanity. Flickering fires and evocative drumming are effective in changing to an altered state of awareness.
Later entries will describe a substantial number of practices for your consideration. Other entries will examine the physiological and brain changes that research has demonstrated with regular practice.
But first. . . .
Start by taking about five minutes of quiet time where you won't be disturbed. Make a modest effort to have a quiet mind. Be aware that in all likelihood this will be an impossible task. The moment that the TV is off, the phone silenced and the computer out of awareness, you will probably find an internal dialogue of chitter chatter that is highly resistant to inner mental silence. That is OK! Just observe this for a few minutes and ponder why you think it might be that this inner commentary is so powerful. No judgement here, just observe.
Some forms of meditation are designed to distract this inner noise by focus on some other internal or external stimuli, others are designed to grasp ever longer instants of true silence. A bit of freedom from this chatter is quite freeing, and worth a bit of effort to experience, and as an added benefit you can grasp a whole new vision of yourself. Almost every spiritual tradition in the world has some form of meditative practice, irrespective of the more dogmatic aspect of the literalist part of the religious base. This is truly a worldwide and cross-cultural experience.
One of the newest fads in the field of psychiatry and neuroscience in general is the notion that addictions to various substances or behaviors are in some manner biologically "caused." This is usually an argument based upon the connection of activation of the reward circuitry of the brain with the substance or behavior. Aside from the basic logical truth that this confuses a simple correlation with potential cause and effect, it also assumes that individuals with no addictions have minimal activity within the reward circuitry.
I would have to imagine that if I sit down and enjoy a favorite food and truly savor it, that the reward circuitry of my brain in in some manner mediating this experience. However, my enjoyment of the food does not necessarily lead to out of control eating or addiction.
The errors of the deeply biological explanation ignore the basic realities of experience that patients and friends clearly describe when they change their behavior in pretty profound ways. As an example, a patient I evaluated described ceasing the use of tobacco, one of the more biologically addictive substances on the planet. She said that at the moment her grandchild was born, she had in instant revelation that if she didn't stop smoking she would never see her grandchild graduate high school. She ceased a several decade history of smoking in an instant. She reported that there had been a few carvings which she ignored and then she knew herself to be a non-smoker.
What changed? How could this addiction disappear in a moment?
The biological answer can only be that a rapid change occurred in her association cortex, which altered the meaning and neural networks related to the behavior of smoking. Even if the desire for the substance is mediated by the reward system, it seems that the connection with the reward system can be instantly disconnected by a transformation of the meaning of the behavior.
Brings to mind the people, places, and things comments of the 12-step groups. All things related to the association network of neurons.
This simple question of how an addiction can be broken really opens a phenomenal series of questions about who we are, how we change, and what layers of the self regulate thoughts and behavior.

Build Your Reputation
"It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it."
– Warren Buffett
Word-of-mouth and reputation are key determinants of long-term business success. Customers research on-line well before becoming a potential lead. Decisions are made before your business has the opportunity to meet face-to-face. This is called the zero-moment of truth. As the digital economy becomes increasingly transparent it is impossible for poor performing companies to hide from dissatisfied customers or disgruntled employees.
In the hyper-connect digital world, it matters what people say about you and your business as comments and reviews are amplified across the world with a click of a button.

Looking for place to rent in Oslo!
I'm looking for a place to rent in Oslo either on my own ( somewhere small) or with roommate/s. I don't have a real preference of what area, as long as I'm fairly close to public transportation. I am employed, responsible, not into the party scene, but also social. I can definitely provide references. I've been looking on finn.no as well, but haven't found anything yet.

How to Measure for Women Clothing
Knowing your hip, waist, and bust measurements are essential to finding perfect-fitting clothes. While there are other measurements which include the inseam, sleeve length, and shoulder width, they're used less often, but also handy to know when shopping for clothes and finding those that have been perfectly-tailored to your body. Knowing your measurements can make shopping for clothes in-store, and especially online, much easier. The things you will need to take your own measurements include; A soft tape measure, a full-length mirror, and some paper and a pen or pencil to write down your measurements on so that you don't forget. After each following measurement is taken, you should write it down for future reference.
To measure your chest and bra size; You should stand with your back held straight while you stand in front of a full-length mirror. Maintaining a good posture is vital to getting accurate measurements. You should take a soft tape under your arms, across your shoulder blades, and around your back so that the tape wraps around the fullest part of your chest; While measuring your bust, it's important that the tape is held straight and parallel to the floor. You'll then want to measure around the area of your chest where the band of a bra will sit. Once both measurements have been taken, you can calculate your bra size by subtracting your bust measurement from your band measurement, the difference in inches between the two will be your cup size; For example, a 1 inch difference equates to an A cup, a 2 inch difference equates to a B cup, a 3 inch differences to a C cup and so forth.
To measure your waist and hips, you should only be dressed in your underwear so that you get the most accurate measurements possible. You should still be standing in front of a full-length mirror. You should measure the tape measure around your waist, keeping the measuring tape parallel to the floor; It's important that you don't suck in your stomach or hold your breath during this measurement since you want clothes that will fit you and not be too tight. You should be standing in a comfortable position that allows for an accurate measurement to be taken. To measure your hips, you should wrap the tape measure around your hips and buttocks at their fullest point; Usually, this is about 7 to 9 inches below your waist. Like the other measurements, you want to make sure to keep the tape measure parallel to the floor.
To take measurements for pants, you can simply use a pair of pants that you already own; Preferably they would be a pair that fits well and that you enjoy wearing for best measurements. You can measure the inseam by placing the end of the tape measure at the bottom hem of your jeans and measuring up to the lowest point of the crotch. The process is the same if you're using yourself to measure for the inseam. Remember to take heel height into account.
When taking measurements for tops, this is done by measuring; Sleeve length, and shoulder width (although not common unless you're getting custom clothes tailored). You can measure your sleeve length by having someone to assist; You'll want to stand with your elbow (that's being measured) at a 90 degree angle while your hand rests on your hip. The tape measure should be held starting at the center back of your neck and extend down to your elbow and wrist to take one full measurement.
When taking measurements, the best time to do is either a few days before or a few days after your menstrual period to account for potential water weight; This could effect your accurate measurements and actually cause you to purchase clothes that are loose fitting. For better comfortably fitting clothes, you should measure yourself after finishing a large meal. If you doubt the accuracy of your own measurements that you have taken, you can get fitted by a professional seamstress or tailor; Most lingerie stores or lingerie department stores will fit you for your bra size, often free of charge. You should get fitted regulatory if you lose or gain weight.

WASHINGTON — Five California men pleaded guilty to a loan modification scam that fleeced more than 400 troubled homeowners that were seeking access to the Home Affordable Modification Program.
The ringleader of the scam, Roscoe Ortega Umali, and his co-conspirators convinced their victims to send "reinstatement fees" and "trial mortgage payments" to participate in HAMP, a Treasury Department program. The scammers pocketed $3.8 million from October 2012 to September 2014.
"Umali and his cohorts made false claims of operating a non-profit company, brazenly used the U.S. Treasury seal on fabricated documents, and invented fictitious HAMP benefits," according to Christy Goldsmith Romero, Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program. She announced the guilty pleas in a press release Wednesday.
The scammers contacted homeowners through nationwide mass mailings. They did "nothing to help modify any mortgages," according to the IG. "Instead, they used the victims' payments for their own personal benefit and to further the fraud scheme."
The five defendants — Umali, Jefferson Maniscan, Raymund Dacanay, Isaac Perez and Joshua Johnson — all resided in the Los Angeles area.
They were indicted last October and they will be sentenced this summer. Each faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.

2017 Nominees for WFRN Officers & Executive Committee Member
Nominees for Co-President
Kathleen Christensen
Kathleen Christensen, Ph.D., Program Director, Alfred P. Sloan Foundation
- Professional background and interests:
Kathleen Christensen, Ph.D., directs the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation's Working Longer program. Previously, Dr. Christensen established and led Sloan's pioneering program on working families. Beginning in 1994, she laid out a strategic vision for multidisciplinary work-family research, which resulted in $130 million of Sloan funding for what became the first generation of work-family research and the development of WFRN. Based on early research findings, she articulated the underlying conflict between work and family as being the direct result of a structural workplace/workforce mismatch. She then designed and spearheaded the first coalition-led national workplace flexibility campaign, with the goal of making workplace flexibility a compelling national issue and the standard of the American workplace. This campaign began in 2003, lasting nearly a decade, and spawned many research studies and advocacy projects related to advancing workplace flexibility. Prior to joining Sloan, she was a Professor of Psychology at the Graduate Center of City University of New York, where she conducted some of the earliest research on work at home, as well as contingent work. Author and editor of seven books, Dr. Christensen planned and spoke at the 2014 White House Summit on Working Families and the 2010 White House Forum on Workplace Flexibility, both of which were informed by Sloan-supported research and messaging. In 2010, Dr. Christensen was named by Working Mother magazine as one of the "Seven Wonders of the Work-Life Field," for being the "foremost strategic supporter of work-life research and practices." The Families and Work Institute honored her with its inaugural Work Life Legacy Award as a founder of the work-life field. She is the recipient of numerous fellowships, including from the Danforth, Mellon, and Rockefeller Foundations, as well as the National Endowment for the Humanities.
- Platform:
If elected as co-presidents, Drs. Christensen and Pitt-Catsouphes will work with WFRN members to foster innovative ideas for the next generation of work-family research. We will support the further expansion of opportunities for collaborative, multi-disciplinary investigations. Furthermore, we plan to explore options so that the bi-annual conference continues to be a premier forum for celebrating research accomplishments and also becomes a unique event where researchers can engage in study design, gather data "on-the-spot," and pilot test new approaches to data collection and analyses. Kathleen and Marcie are committed to conference-based forums for advancing research partnerships with the public and private sectors.
Marcie Pitt-Catsouphes
Marcie Pitt-Catsouphes, Ph.D., Professor of Social Work, Boston College
- Professional background and interests:
Marcie Pitt-Catsouphes, Ph.D., is a Professor at the Boston College School of Social Work and has an appointment at the Carroll School of Management at Boston College. She founded the Sloan Work and Family Research Network in 1997 which has evolved into WFRN - the premier, multi-disciplinary research association for scholars studying a range of work-family issues. From 2005–2015, she co-founded and served as Director of the Sloan Center on Aging & Work at Boston College which conducts research and promotes the quality of employment for older adults. Dr. Pitt-Catsouphes was the Co-Principal Investigator for the 2014-15 Time and Place Management Study. This intervention research used random assignment to examine outcomes associated with the implementation of flexible work options at a large healthcare organization. She was the Principal or Co-Investigator for a range of investigations including: the 2006 National Study of Business Strategy and Workforce Development, the 2007-08 Age & Generations Study, the 2009 Talent Management Study, and the 2010-11 Generations of Talent Study, an investigation that gathered data from over 11,000 employees working in eleven different countries. Working with Dr. Stephanie Berzin at Boston College, she co-founded the Center for Social Innovation at Boston College. This center has conducted a range of studies and has gathered data about the engagement of non-profits in social innovation initiatives. Dr. Pitt-Catsouphes was the Co-Principal Investigator for a study exploring organizational outcomes associated with The Purpose Prize which is awarded to older adult social entrepreneurs. Dr. Pitt-Catsouphes established the Social Innovation Lab at Boston College which works with non-profits and supports their social innovation initiatives. Since 2014, Marcie Pitt-Catsouphes has been the Director of the Social Work Doctoral Program at Boston College.

Nominees for Vice President
Anne Bardoel
Anne Bardoel, Associate Professor of Management, Monash University, Australia
- Professional background and interests:
The work-family research community has been an important source of research inspiration and friendship over many years and I would like to give back. My work-life journey started when I began my thesis looking at organisational characteristics associated with the provision of work-life practices and has then taken me on a rewarding path to researching quality part-time work, family time economies, global work-life management, and more recently multigenerational care. I have published manuscripts in highly ranked journals such as Demographic Research, Gender, Work and Organization, Human Resource Management, Sociology, and the International Journal of Human Resource Management. As an Australian, I have valued relationships with international research colleagues. I have a strong commitment to working on research that has practical implications and seek to translate my research to high level community and industry engagement. Currently I am a member of the Australian Government's Workplace Gender Equality Agency Advisory Group and have previously held positions as a member of the Victorian Government's Working Families Council and President of the Work/Life Association (Australia). In these roles, I have actively promoted discussion among researchers, business leaders and policy makers about work-life issues.
- Platform:
So, what can I do for members of the Work and Family Researchers Network? As Vice President, I see my role as promoting high quality research and networking opportunities for members. Part of this is based on my absolute belief that the "stuff" we do is important for our families, communities and nations. My role will be to actively work with fellow Executive members to ensure the WFRN continues to develop as an important international community of scholars that provides mentorship for researchers at the beginning of their journey and throughout their careers. I will also seek to encourage new and underrepresented research agendas.
Clare Kelliher
Clare Kelliher, Professor of Work and Organisation, Cranfield School of Management, Cranfield University, UK
Professional background and interests:
Professor Kelliher's research interests focus on the organisation of work and the management of the employment relationship. She has a long standing interest in flexible working and has conducted research into the implementation and outcomes of flexible working arrangements in a variety of different contexts. She has led a number of research projects involving consortia of sponsoring companies and is always concerned to ensure that the findings of research have real world impact and contribute to better outcomes for employees, employers and wider society. She is currently involved in conducting research into how employers' desires to become more agile may, or may not, align with the interests of employees for greater flexibility to balance work and non-work activities. She has worked actively with a range of policy organisations and with national and regional government bodies to influence how research findings can shape policy and practice. Her own work (conducted with her colleague Dr. Deirdre Anderson) has been used as evidence to support change in legislation.
If elected, I will work to enhance the WFRN's sphere of influence in relation to both academic research and practice. In addition, I will seek to grow the international profile of WFRN, including a more international base of membership. I am also keen to ensure that the perspectives adopted on both work and family encompass contemporary work patterns and contemporary lifestyles. It is important, for example, to examine the work-life concerns of those working under non-traditional employment relationships and those of the self-employed. Likewise, it is also important to include the work-life considerations of those with a range of different care responsibilities and those without traditional caring responsibilities.
Nominees for Executive Committee Member
Naomi Gerstel
Naomi Gerstel, Distinguished University Professor and Professor in the Department of Sociology, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
- Professional background and interests:
Recently funded by NSF, the Sloan, Spencer, and Russell Sage Foundations, Professor Gerstel has focused on inequalities -- whether in marriages or extended families, family and work policies, hours and schedules, or familial involvement in schools. Her current research addresses the ways racial and class differences in families' involvement in college students' lives sustain inequality among them. Professor Gerstel is a past chair of the ASA family section and recipient of the Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Robin Williams, William Goode, Max Weber Distinguished Book, and Labor Studies Distinguished Book awards. She is co-editor of the Families in Focus series and recently co-authored the books Unequal Time (Russell Sage Foundation Press) and Nuclear Family Values, Extended Family Lives (Routledge Press) and has published papers on family and work issues in numerous journals.
- Platform:
If elected, I would like to help WFRN remain a key site for interdisciplinary and global conversation, collaboration, mentoring and political action on work and family issues and policies. Given the results of the current election, a political and policy agenda that addresses inequalities in work and family issues has become all the more pressing.
Melissa Milkie
Melissa Milkie, Professor of Sociology and Chair of the Graduate Department, University of Toronto
- Professional background and interests:
Dr. Milkie is Professor of Sociology at the University of Toronto and Chair of the Graduate Department. Her research focuses on gender, culture, work-family intersections, and health. She examines stressors such as parenting strains and work-family conflicts, including that of one's spouse or partner, and how these link to health and well-being. A related strand of work focuses on the meanings and experiences of family and family time, and how these have changed in sometimes dramatic ways. Recent research projects center on gender, work, and parenting, with studies on how feelings about time spent with children are linked to mothers' versus fathers' mental health, on how women's and men's assessments of their partner's work-family conflicts matter for well-being, and on the "distracted" family dinner. Professor Milkie has been Deputy Editor at American Sociological Review and Gender & Society and served as ADVANCE Professor of Inclusive Excellence at the University of Maryland. She was part of the Program Committee for the Inaugural WFRN Conference.
- Platform:
If elected, I would work with the WFRN executive team to promote two key issues. First, I have a great deal of experience and strong interest in fostering and strengthening mentoring programs for junior faculty, postdocs and graduate students across disciplines, particularly those from underrepresented groups. Second, I will work to promote outreach to research, non-profit, policy, and community organizations in the U.S. and internationally, with a focus on how work-family researchers can link with key organizations. In recent years, I have connected with groups such as A Better Balance, Mom's Rising, and MIRCI (Motherhood Initiative for Research and Community Involvement) in the U.S. and Canada, and have seen up close the importance of key ties across groups to further policy and practices that benefit work-family life. In all I would be honored to deepen the mentoring and outreach work of this organization and to energetically promote WFRN ideals of supporting researchers across the globe whose research can foster healthy workplaces and work-life fit in a fast-changing world.
